Lean Analytics

Use Data to Build a Better Startup Faster

By: Alistair Croll, Benjamin Yoskovitz

Narrated by: Daniel Henning

Marc Andreesen once said that "markets that don't exist don't care how smart you are." Whether you're a startup founder trying to disrupt an industry, or an intrapreneur trying to provoke change from within, your biggest risk is building something nobody wants.  

Lean Analytics can help. By measuring and analyzing as you grow, you can validate whether a problem is real, find the right customers, and decide what to build, how to monetize it, and how to spread the word. Focusing on the one metric that matters to your business right now gives you the focus you need to move ahead-and the discipline to know when to change course.  

Written by Alistair Croll and Ben Yoskovitz, the book lays out practical, proven steps to take your startup from initial idea to product/market fit and beyond. Packed with over thirty case studies, and based on a year of interviews with over a hundred founders and investors, the book is an invaluable, practical guide for Lean Startup practitioners everywhere.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Authors, please narrate your own books

Professional voice actors don’t have your conviction. They sound very polished and clean, but boring and emphasize the wrong words. This one kept saying “Product OR market fit” instead of “product/market fit” - why did nobody correct him? Must have said it at least 100 times. Authors, WE WANT TO HEAR YOU NARRATING YOUR OWN BOOKS! You don’t have to be perfect, but you have to know and love what you are reading.

Great for Product Managets

An excellent follow on to Lean Startup. Gives great details of various business / startup types and how to measure and grow them. Must read for all PMs.

Goes over every topic of data

Goes over every topic of data and what to do and what not to do. It can be overwhelming so focus on what you need the most.

Very B2C focused

Extremely focused on metrics for B2C companies. Not a ton of value for those interested in learning more about metrics for B2B businesses.
